Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

No he doesn’t have to prove shit about it. His right to work is presumed

I assume this is Lomax .

Probably has to explain why he wants to now play rugby league when he told the club he didn't want to play rugby league and signed a contract saying this..

I guess the point I am making is that, if the terms of Zac's release are deemed unfair, then isn't the NRL (as our 'boss') more culpable than we are? And shouldn't the NRL actually owe Parramatta something for effectively leading us astray?

I doubt that relationship is what’s in place, at least for external legal matters

 

[Tiger5150]

You seem very committed to your current level of understanding..

To the extent of what Ive said Im 100% all in

 

[85 Baby]

Another few hundred circles?

Bruv you just kept it going yourself. I feel like we should go back to debating if Matt Arthur or Ryley Smith is better

Yeah but that isn’t about denying his right to work. That indicates he possibly acted in bad faith and how that impacts our ability to maintain our interests

It's not denying right to work as he signed in his release contract he didn't want to play rugby league. So basically he is breaking a contract with the Eels first and foremost.

Why would the Eels allow him to leave the club a representative player without getting something from it?
He agreed to end a 700k a season contract without having another contract to go to. That's not the Eels fault.

Let's put it this way what if the "I don't want to play league" was just a ploy to get out of our contract and go and sign with the Storm? How do we benifit at all from this?

But that’s not the clubs fault.

People enter into contracts against their best interests every second.

What their expectations are upon signing and what actually eventuates are often two different things.

Marriage, for example.

I think the club had a duty to protect its interests at the time. Otherwise, Lomax would be down there now or somewhere else in the nrl. In other words, simply able to walk away …with no penalty.

That would in effect and practically render his original contract with the eels impotent and unable to be enforced. That’s troublesome and creates a lot of uncertainty.

And the idea of contracts is to bind parties subject to laws.

I prefer the eels case, but who knows.

It was pretty nifty to get the controversial consent clause in there.

I wonder if he protested about it before he signed it or went “ She’ll be right”

He was either poorly advised or he told his lawyer that he’d cop it.

. If the request to go to the Storm from the get go then it would be a very different discussion.
Released because wanted to to go yawnion Parra - we are Happy to do so as long as its not another NRL team. Yes absolutely im going to R180...
Next minute...nrl storm contract signed. Hey Parra, can we sign Lomax ( oh wait weve already lodged his contract) but we are now wanting you to agree and say yes.
Parra in the nicest possible way ( get f$%#@ Storm) and Slomax...
They will still probably get him and in typical NRL style will f$## us

Marriage, for example.

I’m happy to be subpoenaed on this.

People do indeed enter into contracts against their interests, and these are unenforceable in some circumstances.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Was a benefit to him. Hence why he wanted to break a 700k a season contract

No it wasn’t a benefit to him, he just thought it was. Meanwhile we got the benefit of extra cap space and now we are also trying to gain the benefit of not having to play against him.

Just because he thought he was and it wasn't doesn't mean at the time the benifit wasn't there....
How do we benifit getting rid of a representative winger

I don’t want to do my job but it pays better than any job I want to do. I’m sure I’m not alone.

So if you buy a car from a car dealership sign that nice contract take their finance deal and a month later don't want the car you can just take it back? Get your money back...

The same way the Dragons did. The same way the Broncos benefited from getting rid of Cobbo.

A player earning more than he’s worth isn’t a benefit at all, even if he’s the best player in the game.

Did you sign a contract for a certain period set by your employer as well?

Again which representative winger did we replace Lomax with?

Merkin! Cobbos contract ended at the end of the season with the Broncos..
